To all decks: I am looking for a thread about positive masculinity in pop culture from way back in December.

I remember Jean-Luc Picard, Steve Rogers, Dan Conner, Chidi from The Good Place.

Can anybody point me to it...?

In the end, we just walked into a local car paint service, picked a color from a huge catalog and 48 hours later had a shiny, metallic turqouise phone. For free.

Well, almost. They said they don’t want money but since they just opened up recently, they could use a good review – on Google Maps! 😬

Touché, #Alphabet.

Well, all the more reason to insist on basic hygiene standards at the daily dinner table:
“Did you wash your hands and turn off your #Android Runtime Layer?” Dig in, then!

Look at this beautiful blue Intex AquaFish running #SailfishOS my daughter got on #Christmas ✨

When it was clear that her first smartphone would be inevitable, we wanted to keep her out of #SurveillanceCapitalism and Walled Gardens for as long as possible.

The only problem: This very color-conscious person had made it clear she would have a hard time accepting an orange-colored device.

So what to do? Use edding markers? Graffiti spray paint?

Alan Moore's #Brexit Poem pretty much sums it up:

“I wrote this verse the moment that I heard/ the good news that we’d got our language back/ whence I, in a misjudged racial attack,/ kicked out French, German and Italian words/ and then I”

She taught me that you can be sharp and funny without having to be cold. And showed me there is a way to know people, to see into their hearts, down to the dirty ground, and still like them – that turning your back on humanity, as well-founded as it may be, is eventually a cop-out, the easy way out. And while that extra mile is so much harder, it‘s going to be an amazing trip.

But I am all the more thankful to have had her around me during very formative years. It left a deep impression on me when she finally left her secure job at a law firm for good in order to concentrate on the precarious life of a freelance comic connectrix.
